Seriously, I do not know the Mac OS nearly as well as DOS and Windows. And I am certain that in time there will be more attention drawn to hacking the Mac OS for Crimeware purposes. But it will take a very long time for there to be anywhere near the number of threats against Mac as we have against Windows. Norton does have a Mac AntiVirus on the market, but I am not certain how necessary it is at thie moment in time. Were I to (read as "When I do ") get a Mac I would license Norton AV-Mac just to be on the safe side. But I would not be too worried about new attacks slipping under the radar screen for now. That alone is as tempting a reason for me as any to begin to look at an iMac for my wife, along with the other reasons I have in mind. I am so weary of having to watch my AV management software just to make certain the most recents updates have been applied. And I have it relatively good, as I use Symantec's Corporate AntiVirus, and have a central AV Server location where I can monitor and manage all AV apps on all my PCs and Server (and for client systems as well).
